What company to buy the front disc barke kit from

[Jeff Lee]

1) Lamb
2) Mark Williams
3) Strange
4) Willwood

I use MW. Any of the four have an excellent reputation, cost being the deciding factor.
Despite all the hoo-rahs on Aerospace, I've seen too many complaints written about them. I don't think I've ever seen a complaint on the four listed above.

Well said, Jeff!!! I run Mark Williams on all 4 corners. If you're interested Todd, Mike Pustelny can get great pricing on Mark Williams products.

I bought Strange .Had trouble mounting them because my original disc brake spindles had been replaced with some early chevelle drum spindles,and the upper bolt was smaller.One side seems to have more drag than the other.Have reshimmed the caliper a few times but has not changed it.Stops ,and holds in the water alot better though.

I put Wilwood on all 4 corners of my 67 Firebird. Very happy with the kit components and function.

After I bleed them properly, they work great!

I used wilwood HD vented rotor kit on my 3600Lb bb 69 camaro to replace the stock disc setup in front. Kept the stock MC & booster but it still knocked 40lbs total off the front and stops exactly the same as before(which is really good). A friend used the aerospace kit for a similar car and was very disapointed(would not slow a heavy car safely).

I put Wilwood on front and rear of my 62 Chevy. Drums being a bit lighter than OEM disk brakes... my weight savings were not as dramatic. I believe combined weight loss was 48 pounds.
The front was a staright forward bolt-on... though they DO move the wheel mounting outward about 1 1/4". If I did it again, I would do some more research to see if the other manufacturers have something that would put the wheels closer to factory location.

On the rear, Wilwood had no kit for a 59-64 Chevrolet, so I purchased the Ford 8" kit ( after doing some investigation, and calculating ). I then designed and drafted up my own mounting brakets, which were made by my machinist. Fit is flawless.
After a few "break in" stops... these brakes are effortless... and at 3650 pounds from over 120 MPH... that means something !

Todd, what did you end up doing with the brakes on your GTO.

I have heavy stock front spindles and disc brakes on my Chevelle now. I have one bad spindle so I currently am contemplating installing my drum spindles and getting an aftermarket fron kit for my Chevelle 1970.

I decided to go with Mark Williams in the front. I hope to buy them sometime next month, when I start working on my car. They seem like the best deal for me because they pay contegnecy....
